  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Finally we have an official link...including official build...


Build it...


Looks like the 5.0 has standard items that are not available on the 3.3T...shame.

Also...no option to change the wheels on either the 3.3T or the 5.0 :(

The sales brochure shows both are available. Pretty sure my GM said both were options when he ordered ours.
 
^ I was going by what is offered on the online configurator. Also just noticed that Canada only gets the 5.0

It states the 5.0 as...

Includes 3.3T Premium plus:

- Engine: 5.0L V8
- Rear-seat entertainment system with dual 10.3-inch HD monitors
- 14-way power right rear seat and 12-way power left rear seat
- Ventilated rear seats
- Integrated Memory System for rear outboard seats
- Rear-seat illuminated vanity mirrors

Man, I'm sorry but maybe when I'm in my senior years I'll like it. To me, it just looks like an old school, '90s luxury barge. Nothing about it says cutting edge or dynamic. It looks like it would blend into a parking lot full of old Buicks.

So you're saying they nailed it? I'm pretty sure the old Buick buyer is the target market.

Exactly, not to mention limo drivers. Few really need those back seat options.

Ah...I see what you mean. Two wheel options in the brochure. Both are 19"...this car really needs 20" wheels.

Wonder why the configurator does not show the wheel option.
 
I may have missed it but does the 2020 G90 have RANC (Road Noise Active Noise Control)?
 
Having seen it at 2 different auto shows, I can say that in person it is a stunner! And it received a lot of attention and positive response at both shows. That said, it is a “big” car meant as a luxury cruiser. Nothing sport about it. It is also designed in some configurations for people with a driver, of which there are a lot in this metro area. I would also say that it will do well in the huge ”black car” business in this part of the country.

Personally, I like my G80 size better for me, just like my previous BMW 5-Series cars. But in person, it is hard to not appreciate how stunning the new G90 is and how much positive attention it draws. At the LA Auto Show for example, it drew as much attention as the Audis and Caddies right next to it.

Not for everybody, nor will everyone appreciate the design cues. But that’s what auto design is about. If it doesn’t ”offend” anyone, it won’t attract many people either. Good design has to make a statement and stand out from the crowd. And it should not appeal to everyone.
 
Sounds like the gentleman needs a suggestion to try the seven gears above first.
Most people probably won't even notice it, but would have been smarter to reset it to zero.

Huh? Why would zero mpg have been smarter than 3.7 mpg!? Seems like that would've been one of the 37 choices that is worse than what they chose.

They could've set it to any figure they wanted. Why not have it read out the stickered mpg? Or have it display some other info instead.

How do you set it to a figure you want? This is a photographer, not an engineer with computer. It is very easy to set it to zero, not so much to anything else. What sticker? City? Highway? Combined?
Zero has no implications and does not draw attention to anything else. If they showed the sticker rating, some clown would not get that much and take they to court for false advertising.
Ever notice most every analog watch in photos is set to 10:10? There is a sensible reason for it.
 
They would have to PhotoShop it... Or go for a highway drive prior to the shoot.
 
I think it might have been running the engine on idle while photo shooting and 3.7 got nothing to do with driving. But who knows.
But ya'll is right, it's all about appearances, however, I don't think many outside of this forum will ever notice that minuscules detail, especially amongst the buyers in this segment.
